It has been almost 30 years since Mantris shared music with the world. Together with Christoph Waelkens he was the driving force behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris vanished into thin air. Until early 2020...

I’m So Many People, his ambient masterpiece debut on Mahorka, encapsulates the idea that we all play various roles throughout our lives. A journey unfolds from darkness to hope. Compared to his earlier albums, this one is even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords. Anatoly 'Tokee' Grinberg has done an excellent job of comprehending and mastering this music to bring out the full range of the sounds generated.

"The album’s journey mirrors our own, from the masks we wear to the ultimate acceptance of our true selves. The journey to the deity is a personal one, and not everyone may complete it."
